The end of my second quarter at aii
2 min read
So, I did write a few weeks ago, in anger, about college and how I feel about it at the moment. Here is my final feelings.
The quarter started off VERY weak, like I was finishing two to four week projects in the first day and was left with nothing to do other than sit and listen to music and design random things, but I grew to know my teachers and actually being branding myself a bit more, and trying to get in the work force. Unfortunately I still have no clients, but I am working towards getting clients as soon as possible and start making at least pocket change from designs.
One way I started branding myself was creating my portfolio website zachbharris.com and so far it is a success, even though I still hardly get any work. I have been posting my designs that I feel are nice enough up there, and have been updating it as much as possible.
Anyways, I have a final paper to finish up before the quarter is "officially" over, but I did want to make another post that I at least cheered up a bit as the quarter came to an end.
Also, web page project that I was complaining about, it was the only project of the quarter... #Sad I wanted to learn CSS not tables and basic HTML that I already knew. :/

My feelings about college
2 min read
I have been going to the Art Institute for two quarters, and I would have to say that this quarter sucks compared to last quarter. The classes themselves are un-engaging (Is that even a word?), which is causing lack of motivation for me to even go to school. Here's an example. I have a web page class, and we have been working on the same project for the past 4 weeks, yet I finished what we were supposed to do within the first week of class. Now I am left sitting in the class for hours (classes are four hours each) listening to music and waiting to either leave early, or wait till class is dismissed.
Now, I do understand that these classes are fundamental classes, and are to help students that aren't quite as 'advanced' as I am, but still, I think it is quite dumb to have me pay for a class that I already know everything about, or just about. I did speak to one of my teachers today about, and he did suggest that I test out of the classes I feel that I don't need, which is probably what I am going to end up doing.
Anyways, I never post journals here, but I may start. If I don't post journals here, it may end up on a personal blog or something, I don't know. Any who, if you read this, you're awesome and deserve a medal, to bad I don't have one to give :/

Time to start again.

It's time to crack down on productivity. I have been delaying doing art (Drawing, Graphics, ect.) for quite awhile now, but I finally have a reason to do things.
My main computer shut down on me today, so now I am only able to use my mac until I fix my PC. That may sound irrelevant to the situation, but it isn't. My main PC distracts me from what I need do as it is where I play all my video games. With it gone I have no more distractions and can focus on what I need to do. My last upload to my website was almost a month ago. That is quite pitiful. When I first made my website I made a goal. That goal was that I would be active at least once a week. Obviously I failed that.
Anyways I wanted to let anyone know that cares that I am going to start uploading my work to both DA and my website so I can build a portfolio and eventually open commissions to start fixing my main computer.
